Comment:

Mr. Gross is a nice guy, I enjoyed the discussions. However, all he does is sit at the front and read from a book. He skips around from dates and ideas and goes WAY to fast for you to listen and take notes. I found it was easier to listen and pay attention to what he says, and then write down what you REALLY think is important. Don't take.

Comment:

Terrible terrible terrible. Says he won't teach for the test but he doesn't teach anything! His American federal government class is absolutely Impossible to pass. He is a nice guy. But he is so old, scattered, and stubborn that the class is impossible. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I am an honors student and still couldn't pass this class. Stay away.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. everything is basically taking notes from his class. maybe one or two videos but mostly notes.goes off on tangents during his notes and it is really hard keeping up with him. you ask him to slow down or repeat and he kinda gets frustrated or something along the lines of that.would not recommend.

Comment:

He loves to take detours and spout out useless information that isn't truly related on what you are trying to learn-nor does he tie together the foreign interactions in his early US history class, which is important especially to help when you take a world history. His notes are terrible, and it's hard to keep up with him.

Comment:

Worst teacher I have EVER had. I LOVE history. I love learning about it. But he cannot teach. He sits and reads his notes to the class for the entire period. He goes off on tangents every few minutes, and he skips from topic to topic. Absolutely terrible teacher. I got nothing from the class, and I'm going to need to take it over again.

Comment:

NONONONONO! He is the most disorganized professor I have ever had. For those who were stuck in Honors History, I can guarantee that Honors History is not only worth more, but easier than this sleeptalking session he calls "class." For those who were unfortunate enough to be stuck with him, Google will be your best friend when studying for tests.

Comment:

You CANNOT keep up with what he says.He skips subjects like crazy & when you stop him to ask what he is talking about his answer is just as vague.all class is is him reading his notes.His tests are ridiculous cus he wants essay answers.His lecture is extrememly vague and he wants specific answers for his test so its a guessing game.DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Comment:

This wasn't that hard of a class but he was really boring. Not alot of homework but the test are all short answer. He gives a study guide with the same questions on the test but alot of them could have different answers that are correct but he is look for certian ones so its kinda like a guessing game. I wouldn't recomend him.

Comment:

TOM GROSS IS BY FAR THE MOST ASSANINE PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. HE MAKES ME WANT TO THROW AWAY MY WHOLE EDUCATION. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A SEVERE CASE OF A.D.D. WHILE SITTING IN THIS MAN'S CLASS. THE MAN SPEAKS NO RELEVANCE ON ANY SUBJECT. I HIGHLY ADVISE EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS BLATENLY INCOMPETENT PROFESSOR.

I liked him. I had to write ALOT...like a speed demon. He talks fast. But, if you show up to class (never miss) you'll make an A for sure. I did.

Comment:

I'm shocked I received a B! He did not use the book AT ALL!! Everything was from his notes and he talked to fast. I used a tape recorder and I still didn't know what was going on! The multi-question type tests sucked mostly short answer. Essay tests were easier just had to know somethingaboutthe Q's

This guy is the teacher from hell. If he was the last option is would just not take the class. Never ever ever ever take from this guy unless you're prepared to memorize every word in the book and even if you do that you'll still get a lower grade then what you deserve because this guy is so bad

Not that good. Easy class but he is very vague about everything. Reading the book is essential in order to stay on top of things. You never really know what is going to end up on the test.

Comment:

He'll assign you to read three fifty page chapters, not give you a clue what to study for, and then test over dates. No good. He reminds me of Mr. Mackey on South Park.
